Architectural Construction

Architecture has rediscovered concrete. And the demands on concrete finish, formwork and facing are growing. Complex concrete mixtures, high concrete pressure, slim building geometries and layouts are a daily challenge to MEVA's formwork engineers. Discover how they meet these challenges here.

The new 11-level car park at Salzburg’s State Hospital has no ramps to connect the levels with each other. The trick is that the entire parking level is inclined in both directions, with 14 inclinations each per level. The MevaDec slab formwork is being used to pour them without crane. The concrete finish remains as is.

In order to waterproof the complete concrete structure along the Danube, concrete was poured entirely without any ties. The wall, 4.5 m high and 1 m wide, was poured usind single-sided support frames and brackets on both sides.

The all-plastic, 100 % wood-free facing alkus is the only formwork facing that can be welded to form large forming areas. The roof of this bus terminal in Merseburg, Germany, was poured
without a single seam or joint, in Aalborg White cement.

The architects of the new library in the German town of Rutesheim stipulated highest demands on the concrete finish. The result was achieved with every pour of 3.46 - formed using the Mammut 350 wall formwork wihout extensions and without horizontal joint. The symmetrical tie-hole and joint pattern was approved by the architects.
